Juliette nodded. ” ‘Bout the same.” 

"Do you know a Collins? I’ve been looking for him. Yea high. Sounds like a weak little boy. Brown hair, curls. Drinks too much water, swears too little, probably gets burns when he gets too close to a church. The last boy anyone wants to be kissing when the clock strikes twelve?"

[beatryczebrus]

"Figures. That's Rome for you."

"Collins... Can't say that I do. Sorry. Though someone like that did bring me a package awhile back. Could have been him."

Salvatore: After all the friendship and love that you've given me over the years, it's honestly the least I could do for you.

Salvatore: Her first name is Aria.

Beatrycze: Oh, stop it. Now I'm going to be the one crying.

Beatrycze: That's a wonderful name. I'll be sure to come visit the both of you as soon as I can.

Salvatore: You're welcome to call for a visit whenever you desire.

Salvatore: I gave her your name as a middle name, I intended to ask for permission but its down on the certificate already. :)

Beatrycze: ...You did?

Beatrycze: I don't know what to say. I'm honored.

[juliette-poesy]

"Much boom and many blood."

[beatryczebrus]

"Ah, so the usual then."

Salvatore: She's here, in the very best of health, possibly the beautiful sight I've ever seen and lying against my chest as we speak. I don't think I've stopped crying since first we met.

Beatrycze: Congratulations! I'm so happy for you. I can't wait to meet her.

Beatrycze,

Please take care of Salvatore. I know that he cares immensely for you. Whatever happens to me, I can smile because I know that he will never be alone. Should I be unable to be the mother that Aria needs, I hold dear that your love of Salvatore would extend toward the baby. Thank you for letting him always know that he is cared for and being his foundation through every up and down of this election. I’m sure that it isn’t easy most of the time.

“You tell me. Lana and I are very happy together, and to know that my best friend would doubt such a thing is a wound that cuts deep.”

[beatryczebrus]

"Uh-huh... I'm sure you are. Some best friend, you didin't even invite me!"

[oldsalvatorerossi-blog]

there was my wedding and the hassle with regard to getting the papers sent from the Nevadan authorities, then the adoption certificates for the triplets and the lawsuit involving my father. It may take a good few weeks to catch you up, possibly a month or so, and with the election coming up, one wonders if it’s even worth it.”

[beatryczebrus]

"Your wedding? Now why am I having so much trouble believing that?"

"So, exactly how much did I miss?"

[beatryczebrus]

We’re eating out at some point, then that’s everything (you greedy fuck).

- Salvatore x

[oldsalvatorerossi-blog]

"It may well begin to, perhaps that and a hug would repair the cracks entirely.”

He laughed. “Oh I know you wouldn’t, I’m simply being polite.” 

[beatryczebrus]

"I'm sure that can be arranged."

Smiling, Beatrycze closed the gap between them, wrapping her arms around Salvatore and squeezing him tight. "In all seriousness, I did miss you... a little."

[oldsalvatorerossi-blog]

A grin spread across Salvatore’s face upon recognizing the voice of his friend, the man turning and taking a few steps towards her. ”I sent you a text about the interns and my coffee, it seems that they never learn; these days this is just how I act, pissed off, alone and sleep deprived. You might have to convince me to be nice again.”

"I don’t blame you if you were to walk away now." 

[beatryczebrus]

"Yes, they were quite funny to read." Beatrycze replied as she turned to face her friend, smiling up at him as he approached her. "Well, maybe if I make you enough coffee, we can make up for it."

Scoffing, she gave him a mock-offended look. "Me? Walk away? You must not know me as well as you think you do."

[oldsalvatorerossi-blog]

"You should knock first, I could be doing anything in here." Salvatore turned, barely even glancing at the face of the person stood before him as he spoke.

[beatryczebrus]

"Well, I was just coming to tell you I was back, but if you're going to be like that," Beatrycze mused, starting to turn away to leave.

[fromvulgartodivine]

"Mr. Rossi doesn’t like it whenever I get into trouble."

[beatryczebrus]

"He doesn't like a lot of things. Don't let it get to you."

[oldsalvatorerossi-blog]

“Please, don’t ever think yourself a trouble to me Bea. You have never been such nor ever will you be.” Salvatore rested his head on Beatrycze’s shoulder, loosening his hug slightly as to speak. “Are you alright?”

[beatryczebrus]

Taking a deep breath, she nodded, wiping her cheeks dry with the back of her hand. "Yes, I'll be fine. I just... remembered some things I thought I'd forgotten about," she replied quietly, looking up at him. "...Thank you. For everything you've done for me."

[fromvulgartodivine]

"You must teach me then. To be as you are and stay out of trouble."

[beatryczebrus]

"Well, I suppose I could try. It's a tough habit to break if you've been doing it too long."

"Besides, you're still young. You can still get away with it."
